Video: Do You Pass the Israel Test?

The best litmus test of any society’s success or failure:

    The Israel test appears to be simple enough, envy on the part of the Arab for Israel. Yet the larger part of the world is envious of the Jews as can be attested by thousands of years of persecution. This is a historical fact. But envy is part of the human condition, and the Bible cites envy as a sin. How do we cure humanity of its failures, mediocrity, ignorance, poverty, hatred, etc. ?

      We can’t. Individual humans can cure themselves, through strict moral discipline and prayer, but we can’t cure humanity at large. Only G-d can do that, at a time and in a way of His choosing.

    I actually believe that if Israel were a brutal military dictatorship like some of the other countries in the region it would actually be hated less than it is right now. Even if Israel was as militarily strong as it currently is; if Israel was less successful in terms of its economy, if Israel was as oppressive to its own citizens as other nearby countries, and even if Israel was more harsh in its treatment of the Arabs; it would probably incur less international wrath than in it currently does. I fully believe that, to a large extent, hostility towards Israel is encouraged by its exceptionalism.

    A simple explanation is that Islam is a death cult where people are preoccupied with the afterlife, while Israel celebrates life and how to make it better.

    In the Muslim world, the only way to get rich is by attacking your neighbors and stealing their goods and enslaving their people.

    Because the Muslims are not even thinking about making things better, they assume that Israel is successful because they must be taking something from the Muslims.

    The Western Left meets the Muslim death cult on the level of “resentement” and a desire that everyone be the same. It is the Western Left that is consumed with envy and hatred for individual achievement. Hence, they identify with the Jew-hating Muslims who have nothing except their hatred.

    Israel has gone from a dream to one of the most powerful nations in the entire world both militarily (by necessity) and economically. The next most powerful is Canada.

    In just the last 30 years alone Israel has gained more than any other country on the planet.

    Let all the naysayers choke on that

      This is because they are GOD’S chosen children.

      Deuteronomy 14:2 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD they GOD, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that re upon the earth.

      Isaiah 41:8-9
      8. But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chose, the seed of Abraham, my friend.
      9. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

      Ezekiel 11:16-17
      16 Therefore say, “Thus saith the LORD GOD; although I have cast them far of among the heathen and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come
      17. Therefore say, thus saith the LORD GOD; I will even assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, an I will give you the land Israel. We know this occurred in 1948 when Israel became a nation, again.

        Please remember, the Jews are but the lead tribe of the Southern Kingdom; Ephraim is the lead tribe of the other ten (lost) tribes comprising the Northern Kingdom. God’s blessings and promises are to the Whole House of Israel, all Jacob’s sons. Why do you think the USA and Canada have been so blessed? See Jacob’s blessings from God which he conferred on his sons. Gen. 49. The USA must be Ephraim, and we will stand with Israel. “For I am ever a father to Israel, Ephraim is My first born.” Jer. 31:9. “For I have drawn Judah taut, and applied My hand to Ephraim as to a bow,…” Jech 9:13

    Hatred of Jews is part of the Muslim ideology. They hate everyone who is not like them and glorify violence. They honor murderers of Jews and reward their families financially. They are masters of propaganda and teach their children to hate and murder.

    When Napoleon conquered Egypt with a few thousand soldiers, the Egyptians, who for thousands of years had told themselves they were the most powerful and evolved culture on the planet were knocked for a loop that they still haven’t recovered from >200 years later. The problem with Arab states is that they live in a fantasy world of their own making where they are gods irrespective of the facts and the world around them. And so when they finally are confronted by reality their response is to blame it on ‘the Jews’ and their ‘secret conspiracies’ and whatnot.

    • Slightly_Puzzled

      Not so sure about that. Remember that Egypt was conquered long before by Rome, inherited by Byzantium, conquered by the Arab Empire, and had, by Napoleon’s time, long been under the de jure and sometimes under the de facto rule of the Turkish Empire. It had been a long time since Egypt had last been independent.

        You have to ask yourself what’s different? Islam? Conquered by non Muslims?
